Following details have been taken from All India PNB Staff Federation website.“In our Circular No. 20 dated 3rd March 2014, we had informed about the details of the discussions held with the IBA on that day. Another round of discussions were held today in IBA office, Mumbai between IBA and UFBU. IBA’s team was led by Mr R. K. Dubey (CMD, Canara Bank), Chairman of the IBA’s Core Committee, Mr M. V. Tanksale, Chief Executive, IBA and other Executives. UFBU was represented by leaders of all our constituent unions.

Apart from seeking early settlement of wage revision, the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has renewed its appeal for introduction of five-day workweek and regulated working hours for officers.

The issue was discussed in detail at a recent meeting with the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) in Mumbai. On its part, the UFBU said working hours could be increased by 45 minutes a day as most of the branches function for four hours on the weekend.

“While appreciating our viewpoints, the IBA wanted further inputs from the Unions in order to examine the issues and to take up the matter with higher authorities,” said UFBU Convenor M.V. Murali.

Talking to The Hindu, a UFBU representative said they would also seek suggestions from the government and bank customers as the latter should not feel that five-day banking would lead to reduction in services.

It is reported that today's (03.03.14) bipartite talk between IBA and UFBU remained inconclusive. UFBU raised the issues of adequate wage revision, 5days' week, regulated working hours, improvement of pension related issues, better housing and hospitalization benefits etc. In response IBA agreed to discuss these with Finance Ministry and thereafter hold negotiation with UFBU within 10 days.In brief there is no development in wage talk practically. Details are awaited.

Nine unions, representing around 9 lakh public sector bank (PSB) employees under the umbrella of United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), are slated to meet Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) — the country’s apex bank management panel — on Monday to arrive at a wage revision settlement.

In the last round of talks that failed, leading to a nation-wide strike on February 10, the employees had cited high inflation while rejecting the management’s offer of a 10% hike in the cash component of the pay package (including basic pay, dearness allowance, house rent allowance, routine medical expenses and a special allowance, but excluding superannuation benefits, travel allowance and hospitalisation reimbursement).

It is raining sops in Odisha these days. On a day when most parts of the state experienced rains in the afternoon, the Odisha government decided to shower over six lakh government employees in the state with a welcome sop in the shape of a 10% hike in dearness allowance (DA).

Even more welcome for the government employees is the fact that the DA hike will be applicable with retrospective effect from January 1 this year. That would surely amount to a neat packet for everybody fortunate enough to be in the service of the government.

Only the other day, the government had decided to give medical reimbursement to all its staff at rates applicable under the Central Government Health Services (CGHS).

On the initiative of the Chief Minister the state government on Saturday announced 10 percent hike in the Dearness Allowance (D.A.) of the State Government employees. Dearness Relief for the pensioners has also been increased by 10%. Nearly 7 lakh employees and 3 lakh pensioners would be benefited by this increase in D.A. and Dearness Relief (D.R).
